Hello Joachim, (ugh: reply-to munging mailing lists. The 1990s called, they want their pointlessness back.)
I'm a short-time lurker, but I quite like your proposal. Like your college, Gary, I think have the auto-close functionality is very odd. The link to Amazon you gave does not exhibit the same thing. To me, it'd make more sense to simply show - immediately if possible - the faceted items. Instead, like Amazon, simply highlight what the faceted terms happen to be.
